Man Utd line-up and formation predictions but will Sanchez make first start against old club Arsenal?

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that the Chile striker will be involved in the fourth round FA Cup clash.

Sanchez has struggled to live up to expectations since he completed his switch to Old Trafford 12 months ago.

He has scored just four goals and has been forced to wait for opportunities under Solskjaer because of an ongoing injury.

But the Norwegian manager thinks that the 30-year-old will thrive if the home fans turn against him at the Emirates.

Solskjaer said: "He'll be involved. I think he'll love it if the crowd turn against him.


"As a player, pride kicks in and you think 'I'll show all of you'.

"He's been fantastic in training, his attitude has been spot on so hopefully he'll enjoy the game."

The ex-Arsenal star was spotted travelling with his team-mates on the train to London on Thursday. 

But keeper David De Gea was nowhere to be seen, with Joel Pereira set to be given the nod for the clash.

Marcus Rashford raised concerns when he was subbed off during the win over Brighton with a knee problem.

But Solskjaer did not mention the England international when he was quizzed about the injuries at Old Trafford.

He confirmed that Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo and Marouane Fellaini are the only three players that are unavailable.

Solskjaer said: "Smalling has started training so hopefully he'll be available maybe next week so it's looking good for him. Fellaini and Rojo are still a bit away."

When asked about refreshing his starting XI, he said: "There are players there that need to play and have the quality to play. There will be one or two changes definitely.

"I've got a big strong squad anyway, so of course there will be one or two changes.

"But it's not like you priorities one [competition] ahead of the other. You always prioritise the next game."
